    My Son is Tired

    My son does not get the 10-12 hours of sleep that is advised for his age. I put him to bed at 8:00 and he takes forever to fall asleep, but he gets up promptly at sunrise. I figure he gets about 8-9 hours of sleep a night. If he would just fall sleep quicker, he'd get plenty. What to do?

    Pizza Crust Tips

    I tried to make pizza last night. The crust wouldn't stop pulling away from the edges of the pan and was kind of rubbery. What did I do wrong? I used pizza dough that I purchased from the store pre-made.

    Kale Chips

    Looking for a healthy alternative for potato chips, I found a recipe for kale chips. I made them last night and, despite the fact that I used too much olive oil because I didn't measure (oops!) they turned out pretty good. My kids said if they weren't so greasy they'd like to try them again...

    Ghost Hunters

    I'm looking forward to the new season of Ghost Hunters on the SyFy channel. It premiers on Wednesday night and I will definitely be tuning in. I think Grant and Jason are awesome. I like that they try to debunk stuff instead of just automatically saying something is paranormal.

    The news has been reporting that the jobless rate remains at 9.1% for the month of August. For every job put into the workforce, one was taken away. Do you think the President is doing enough to create jobs? I can't help but wonder how we're going to fix this.

    Child Passenger Safety

    My brother is a cop who just became certified in Child Passenger Safety. I had no idea, but you can call your local Police Department and ask them if they have any Child Seat Technicians on staff. If they do, you can make an appointment to stop in and they will inspect your car seats to make...

    Jehovah's Wittness?

    I don't know anything about them or their faith, but lately they've been bringing little kids to the door, and I don't like that. What if my dog gets out and attacks one of their kids? What if they slip and fall on my sidewalk? I don't want the liability, and I'm thinking of telling them to...

    First day of Kindergarten

    Hi all, I'm Jim. I'm pretty much a stay-at-home Dad (I work in the home and occasionally travel to customers) to my three kids. I'm having an odd feeling of anxiety over my baby girl starting kindergarten in September. My sons were excited to start school and I was excited for them. Now...
